IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-CAN NOZZLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,426, dated August1, 1876 5 application filed June 20,1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, R. H. HASENRITTER, of Hermann, in the county ofGasconade and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Oil-Gan N ozzles and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make anduse it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which formpart of this specification.

The'nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a nozzle for oil-cans, oil-bottles, 850., as will be hereinafter morefully set forth.

1n the annexed drawing, which fully illustrates my invention,Arepresents a cylinder of suitable dimensions to enter the mouth of a canor the neck of a bottle. This cylinder may be made tapering, if desired,and is provided with an exterior rubber sleeve or gasket, B, so as toform a tightjoint when inserted in the can or bottle, or it may haveexterior screw-threads, to be screwed into the same, if desired. At thelower end of the cylinder is an interior perforated flange, a, leaving asufficiently large central aperture for the nozzletube 0 to passthrough, said tube passing up through the center of a cap, D,screwed onthe upper end of the cylinder. \Vithin the cylinder, on the tube 0, issecured a piston, I), which is held up against the under side of the capby means of a spring, d, placed around the tube. The outer or upper endof the tube (3 is pointed, as shown, and on said tube, a

suitable distance from the end, is secured a flange, collar, or othersimilar device, h, by means of which the tube may be forced inward.

The oil is forced out by pushing the nozzle inward toward the can orvessel, and the piston b, working in the cylinder A, causes the oil toflow out in a stream, or in drops, as desired.

The perforations in the flange a of the cylinder are for the purpose ofallowing the oil to run into the cylinder.

This nozzle may be applied to any can, bottle, or other vessel, making aregular oil-can of the same.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the cylinder A, with perforated flange a at thebottom and cap D on top, and the nozzle-tube O, with piston 12, spiralspring cl, and flange h, all substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this15th day of June,1876.
